​​Abstract

​See through your AI: Enhancing LLM transparency with DataDog observability
Do you have any AI solutions in production? If so, you must have heard about observability. If you did not, please do not say that out loud. DataDog platform offers end-to-end observability of applications, including visibility into LLM chains, enabling real-time monitoring of response quality, latency, and security threats. Learn how to detect hallucinations, optimize token usage, retrieve specific information from a database, and implement robust privacy safeguards while mitigating prompt hacking risks.

​AgentON Hackathon
Can you imagine a hackathon with a "No Human in the Loop" track, where agents compete autonomously? Top that with only 24h to deliver a public demo. This is the AgentON hackathon. Don't worry, they also have less hardcore tracks like "Needle in a Haystack". Teams are competing to be featured on 150k subscribers Youtube channel led by Matt Chrobok.
